The comprehensive control technology of tension stringing equipment for transmission line erection is a method that uses modern information technology, communication technology, automation technology and other means to remotely control and monitor the state of the tensioning equipment, and realize the acquisition and control of the main working state of the tensioner, as well as real-time monitoring and control. This method has important roles and values in improving the operation efficiency and reliability of the tensioning equipment, reducing the construction cost and risk, ensuring the quality and safety of the erection construction, etc. This paper reviews the research status and progress in this field, mainly introduces the research achievements in three aspects: online monitoring and intelligent control system of tensioning equipment, control strategy based on nonlinear control technology, and control strategy based on fuzzy logic, as well as their roles in improving the machine performance and safety. This paper also analyzes the problems and challenges in this field, and puts forward the future development direction. This paper provides a valuable reference for the researchers and engineers in this field, and also provides some inspiration and suggestions for the future research or exploration in this field.
